Chapter 51: You Can Punish Me However You Want, As Long As You’re Happy
As the car drove forward, Qin Wan’s heart tightened more and more. His slender fingers were clenched together, picking and pulling at each other. He fell silent for a moment.
” Gege , you said you’d help Auntie Rong with her surgery… does that still count?” His voice was cautious.
Gu Xinglan’s face was calm, but a trace of a smile flickered at the corners of his lips. “Depends on your performance,” he said flatly.
Qin Wan pursed his lips and nodded to himself, saying nothing more.
Soon, the car returned to Shengshi Daguan Villa and parked in the courtyard. The two got out. Qin Wan stood beside Gu Xinglan, tentatively touching his hand.
” Gege , shall we go to the… Reflection Room…” From his tone, it was hard to tell if he was asking or stating a fact.
“Mn,” the man responded.
Qin Wan cautiously took his hand. He took a half-step ahead of the man, heading toward the small building in the back, looking almost as if he were taking the lead. This was something Gu Xinglan hadn’t expected. He had thought the boy would act a bit stubborn or throw a small tantrum, dragging his feet.
Gu Xinglan chuckled softly. This little thing appeared simple and naive, but sometimes he was truly impossible to read. The more he couldn’t figure him out, the more he wanted to study him in depth. From head to toe, inside and out.
They entered the small building, went down the stairs, and stood outside the Reflection Room. Qin Wan turned his head to look at Gu Xinglan. The man said nothing, entered the code, and opened the door.
Qin Wan took a deep breath and walked in first. He tried his best to suppress his fear of this place. He stopped, turned around, and looked up at Gu Xinglan before lowering his eyelashes.
” Gege , you can punish me however you want, as long as you’re happy.”
Gu Xinglan understood that the boy was worried he wouldn’t fulfill his promise regarding Zhou Rong’s surgery. Since he was being so proactive, it was a good time to tease him. Gu Xinglan was in a good mood. He took Qin Wan’s hand.
“Do you know what the things in here are?” he asked.
Qin Wan’s heart trembled slightly, and he shook his head. “Many of them… I don’t know…”
“Mn, then I’ll explain them to you.” Gu Xinglan’s tone was very patient, as if he were educating a young child. He led Qin Wan by the hand to a strangely shaped chair. “Qin Wan, use your imagination first. Guess what this is for.” He watched him expectantly.
Qin Wan’s face flushed deep red. “A chair… of course, it’s for sitting on…” he replied in a very low voice.
Gu Xinglan let out a chuckle and pointed. “Guess how to play with it.”
Qin Wan’s heart was in his throat; he shook his head. “I don’t know…”
Gu Xinglan leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words. Qin Wan’s face turned scarlet in an instant.
“Want to try, Qin Wan?” Gu Xinglan asked with a wicked glint in his eye, studying the expression on the boy’s face.
Qin Wan shook his head instinctively. “No!”
Gu Xinglan gave a low hum. “Who was it that just said they wanted to make me happy?”
Qin Wan: “…” His face turned pale. ” Gege , do you… do you really like… this?”
Gu Xinglan didn’t say anything, his gaze locked onto the boy. Qin Wan slowly lowered his head, his small lips pursed, and he nodded. “Then… okay.”
Gu Xinglan’s heart trembled slightly. He reached out and gently tilted his chin. “So obedient?”
Qin Wan’s brows knit slightly. “As long as you’re happy.”
Gu Xinglan chuckled. “No rush. Let’s look at the others.”
Next, he explained the uses of the other items to Qin Wan in detail. Qin Wan’s face burned and his heart raced; he felt like his hair was standing on end.
“Qin Wan, tell me yourself: which one do you like?” Gu Xinglan pulled him close, looking down at him.
Qin Wan: “…” He didn’t like a single one of these devilish things! He swallowed hard with difficulty. ” Gege , whatever you like, I’ll play with you. However you want to punish me, I accept it.”
Gu Xinglan’s eyes shifted slightly, the corners of his eyes curving. “The condition is that I have to fulfill my promise and cure Zhou Rong’s illness, right?”
Qin Wan sensed that the man seemed a bit displeased. He didn’t know how to answer. Seeing him lower his eyes and stay silent, Gu Xinglan said, “Qin Wan, look at me.”
Qin Wan slowly looked up.
Gu Xinglan: “Are your motives impure? Tell the truth, no lying.”
Qin Wan bit his lip and fell silent for a while. ” Gege , I am very afraid of these things. However, humans are emotional animals. If you help me cure Auntie Rong, I will be very grateful to you. Being grateful, I will be willing to do anything for you. So, it’s not really impure motives—it’s more like ‘different paths leading to the same destination,’ don’t you think?”
After saying that, he raised his beautiful fox eyes and looked at the man seriously. His gaze was soft yet resolute.
Gu Xinglan thought over those words. It seemed like there was a bit of logic there. He couldn’t demand that Qin Wan truly develop feelings for him; after all, their relationship had never been one of equals. It started ungracefully, and the process had been full of disasters. If the boy could develop some goodwill toward him out of gratitude, it would be a substantial step toward improving their relationship.
“Alright,” Gu Xinglan nodded. “Since you don’t like it now, I won’t force you. I’m tired today too. Let’s go back and sleep.”
Qin Wan: “…” Was he… letting him go?
As if understanding his confusion, Gu Xinglan pulled Qin Wan close to him. He lowered his head slightly, his nose brushing against the boy’s. His voice was gentle and slow: “In bed tonight, I’ll rest. You’ll be the one doing everything.”
“If I’m not satisfied, we start over.” It sounded a bit like a threat, but it felt more like flirting.
Qin Wan: “…” His face looked panicked. “But, Gege , I… I’m not very good at it…”
Gu Xinglan started to laugh, his eyes tinged with a trace of wickedness. “Qin Wan, a boy can’t say he isn’t good at it.”
Qin Wan puffed out his cheeks, not knowing what to say. Gu Xinglan looked down, his gaze as gentle as water. “It’s okay if you don’t know how; Gege will teach you.” After saying that, he pulled Qin Wan out of the basement.
Back in the bedroom, Gu Xinglan walked into the bathroom. “Qin Wan, come here and help me bathe.”
Qin Wan: It’s starting already? He lowered his head and followed Gu Xinglan inside. ” Gege , what… what should I do?”
Gu Xinglan was amused by the question. “Bathing—the first step is obviously taking off clothes.”
Qin Wan’s face burned. In bed, even if a night lamp was on, the light was dim and he couldn’t see clearly. Now, the light in the bathroom was very bright. He truly couldn’t imagine how awkward it would be to stand face-to-face with a naked Gu Xinglan in such an environment. Moreover, he had to have zero-distance contact with the man’s body to wash him.
Qin Wan’s face felt hot, and his breathing quickened. “Does taking off clothes also require me to teach you?” Gu Xinglan’s voice was full of mockery.
Qin Wan shook his head, his eyes lowered as his hand went to undo the first button of the man’s shirt. The man’s beautiful collarbones were revealed. Then the second button. He saw the man’s firm chest muscles. Once the third, fourth, and fifth buttons were undone, the man’s tight abs and the beautiful Apollo’s belt partially hidden in his suit trousers were fully exposed.
This man looked elegant and refined in a shirt and trousers. Once his clothes were removed, his firm and smooth muscles showcased a dominant power. Every part of him exuded a sort of “violent aesthetic.”
“The belt.” Gu Xinglan kept his gaze fixed on Qin Wan’s fair little hands. They were very delicate, like a girl’s hands, but with longer fingers. It was hard to imagine how a pair of hands that had endured so much hardship and done so much heavy labor since childhood could maintain such an alluring form.
A natural incubus. The term suddenly popped into Gu Xinglan’s mind.
